Multiple rounds of rain and coastal flooding are expected for the east coast of Florida this weekend and into Monday.

By Thursday and Friday, things become more unsettled. A developing low near the Florida Straits and an approaching cold front will bring numerous coastal showers and downpours. Rain chances climb to 60–80%, with some areas potentially picking up up to 2-4 inches of rain in localized downpours.

Dry air is now dominating central Florida, and over the next 36 hours, it will be the primary influence on our weather.

Rain totals for parts of South Florida are expected to reach 2 to 4 inches broadly, with up to 6 inches in some areas.

It may be only be early October, but a nor'easter lies ahead for the East Coast. Here are the forecast details, including potential for wind, rain and coastal flooding for days.

SO MUCH RAIN THIS WEEK. ABSOLUTELY. LET’S GO AHEAD AND BRING IN FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST ERIC BURRIS ERIC. WE ARE SEEING A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS OFF OUR COAST RIGHT NOW. YEAH, JUST A FEW SHOWERS. AND I THINK OVERALL TODAY WELL YES,

Low pressure developing near the Bahamas will lift north on Friday and help push the cold front down through South Florida for the weekend. Drier air will lead to a very comfortable weekend, with highs in the low/mid 80s and lows in the 60s and low 70s, and low chances for rain.

More rain is on the way for our weather on Tuesday in Central Florida, although there are lower chances than Monday. Meanwhile, dangerous rip currents, large breaking waves, coastal erosion and King Tides will continue to impact areas of coastal flooding.
